Cannot get new package (QT Module) to work #24

Closed DanielVolt closed 3 years ago

DanielVolt commented 3 years ago

Hi,

When building buildroot with added package (qtquicktimeline) using make xconfig the resulting qt app will error out saying: "module qtquicktimeline not found".

How do we properly add the qt module?

Many thanks

Hey Daniel,

The way I recommend you to build your Qt project is that

  1. Build your distro without any Qt package
  2. Statically cross-compile Qt from the source for your distro (you can use the script, please read the readme)
  3. Statically compile your Qt app by the Qt you've compiled. You'll have a single executable file on this stage.
  4. Put the exec file to the RPI and run.

Hey Furkan,

Thank you so much! Since other devs will most likely need this to here is the full instructions on how to add QT Modules:

  1. git clone a QT Module in the buildroot -> output -> qt -> qtfolder (/buildroot/output/qt/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.1):
    • "git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtquicktimeline.git -b 1.0"
  2. cd to the qt module dir:
    • "cd qtquicktimeline/"
  3. run qmake on qt module:
    • "/buildroot/output/qt/qt-everywhere-src-*/aaaout/bin/qmake"
  4. run make on qt module
    • "make"
  5. run make install on qt module to install said module
    • "make install"

and tada! qt module ready to be used, re-compile your app and boom.

Teşekkür ederim Furkan jan :-)
